This requires a nonstop effort by fans to accurately name the rosters of more than 120 teams featured in the game. While doing that, they often take the time to adjust the depth charts and make other corrections. Probably the most reputable and accurate set of rosters you could get now is available from the Operation Sports community, for both consoles.

Version one of the PlayStation 3 rosters released Monday. Its editors promise correct player names, numbers, heights, weights, skin tone, year in school, and redshirt status. Transfers into the program have been added; players kicked off the teams have been removed. Correct coach names and other information also are included.
